I’m guessing bathroom but we’ll see.
yes, bathroom. Brit slang
I guess I’m glad I don’t have to go outside to a bog? Nothing against bogs, but they’re probably unpleasant at night.

Five Guys is the only chain for me, and it makes up for all the other shitty ones, because it’s so good. The fries are just… incredible.
I recently found myself on a long drive and in need of some very rapid refreshment, so I went through a McD’s drive-thru to get a vat of diet coke. They handed me the wrong bag, which I didn’t realize until I drove away and found chicken nuggets inside. They were an abomination. I was so mad that millions of these are sold every day, I almost threw them out the window.

I had a McDs drive thru mishap last week.
I asked for an iced coffee with milk and no sugar. Meaning I want coffee, milk (instead of cream) and ice.
I received ice, cream, artificial sweetener and a little bit of coffee. Could barely detect any coffee flavour beyond the cream and Splenda. I was about 3 miles away from the drive thru when I discovered the error and I’m the kind of person who might vent online, but doesn’t bother complaining for a botched drink order.
That $1.50ish iced coffee was no bargain. Back to my $5.43ish Grande or $5.93 Iced Venti Non-Fat Latte from Starbucks.

Five Guys burgers are great, especially the variety of toppings, but (unless something’s changed recently) their buns have difficulty holding up to those toppings. Also, the fries are the best IF you pick them up quickly and open the bag they’re in right away. If you don’t they tend to go limp. I think it’s because they’re so big and not fried enough to hold up to their thickness.

No fries are good unless you eat them immediately. That’s a feature, not a bug.

Ever have proper Belgium style double fried frites? Perhaps the original fries. Stays crisp even when stone cold. No need to rush to eat though you will because they are so good. Five Guys fries are garbage in comparison.
If we are in the world of fast food burger fries In n out roadkill style are amazing.

Oh no! Now I have to invest another $2…
LOL!
The amount has gotten so ridiculously large that it seems surreal. What would a person do with a windfall of $500Mn? At a 4% draw you would have around $20Mn a year to play with.

Should Todd try again? What’s another $100K, right?
I may get flamed - hope not - but the first time I walked into a 5 guys alone, gratefully, I was a little stunned to see all the peanuts and detritus all over the place. As a business in the food industry, to me it is pretty off-putting. It is spitting in the face of the rising # of serious peanut allergies in the hamburger eating population. If I can’t bring my family to eat there because one of them will literally die, that doesn’t seem super customer friendly. And it’s not the same as having things on a menu that someone can’t eat. The air in the joint probably has peanut particles all throughout it.

Hadn’t occurred to me. I bet they fry in peanut oil, too.
